Outside the restaurant, the diners who were originally lined up in a line have been divided into three teams at this time.

And each team is lined up in a long line, and the tail of the team is no longer visible.

Seeing Li Yi appear at the door, the diners shouted excitedly.

"Brother Yi!"

"Finally meet a real person! Brother Yi is so handsome! ”

"When is Brother Yi open? We're starving! ”

"Is the pilaf okay, Brother Yi? It smells so good! ”

One person's voice is not too loud, but when dozens or hundreds of people are talking together, Li Yi can't hear what they are saying at all.

So, he raised his hand and signaled: "It will be open for business in half an hour, everyone just wait a little longer." ”

After speaking, he pulled Huang Xiaoming to the side and asked, "Why are so many people here again?" ”

Huang Xiaoming wiped the fine sweat on his head, and said helplessly: "The people who ate thin-skinned buns before didn't leave, and the back came again, and the number was only half sent, and I see that at least 400 people are queuing." ”

"Four hundred..."

When Li Yi heard this number, his scalp jumped.

Fortunately, I stewed two pots of pilaf!

Otherwise, there is really no way to greet so many guests.

Seeing that Li Yi seemed to be a little worried, Huang Xiaoming thought that he regretted giving away the thin-skinned buns, and said with a smile: "Those diners who ate thin-skinned buns, when they bought baked buns, they all swept the money for thin-skinned buns, and some people swept more.

I calculated the accounts, and the turnover was more than 200 yuan more than the normal sale. ”

Li Yi didn't understand why he mentioned this stubble, but he didn't ask, just said: "In half an hour, you can open for business, after the pilaf is ready, the table will be turned over quickly, and the queue will not be so tense at that time." ”

"Okay."

Huang Xiaoming smiled: "Don't talk about them, I smell the aroma of pilaf myself, and I can't stand it, this pilaf smells too fragrant!" ”

"I'll leave you some later."

Li Yi said with a smile, and then turned around to teach the three of them to turn the pot if they were not full.

"You grab that side, I'll grab this side, and carry it together."

The three of them were discussing and lifting the pilaf pot together.

These two pots of pilaf, each weighing hundreds of pounds, were burned so hot that they couldn't lift them after several attempts.

Li Yi came to the front, and when he saw this, he stepped forward and motioned for them to get out of the way.

Then, Li Yi took two wet rags to the side of the pot, put the wet rags under the ears of the pot, and then used both hands hard.

The next moment, the whole pot was picked up by him.

After tilting the pot back more than ten degrees, Li Yicai put the pot back, handed the wet rag to the three people who couldn't eat enough, and signaled: "Serve the hot pot quickly, you can't ink, the more ink you have, the hotter it is, and it's not easy to serve." ”

Looking at his relaxed appearance, the three of them were shocked and exclaimed: "Brother Yi, you are too good!" This pot is then picked up? ”

"It's not heavy, it's only a hundred pounds."

Li Yi smiled and didn't care.

The three of them looked at each other without enough food, all speechless.

For them, a hundred pounds is indeed not a lot of weight.

Usually they bench press more than that, and this position is more like a deadlift, and the upper weight limit is higher.

But it's a hot pot!

With a diameter of one meter and five, the only place where you can grasp the hand is the edge of the pot, and it is still hot.

Not to mention the hot air spewing from the edge of the pan.

This deadlift is much more difficult than a barbell in the gym.

"It's awesome."

They looked at each other, and then shook their heads: "Let's be honest and serve together!" Don't be stubborn, don't spill the food, the guests outside will tear us apart. ”

"Remember, turn every five minutes!"

Li Yi reminded him and went back to the kitchen to prepare food.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and before the pot was boiled, Li Yi returned to the courtyard.

When he came to the pilaf pot, he uncovered the wet gauze covering the edge of the pot, and a sweet fragrance mixed with oil suddenly seeped out, countless times stronger than the smell that wafted out just now.

Then, Li Yi lifted the lid of the pot, and a stream of steam mixed with a strong fragrance wafted up and spread rapidly.

Seconds later, there was an exclamation of admiration outside the restaurant.

"Wow! It smells so good! ”

Li Yi took the shovel, inserted it into the bottom of the pot along the edge of the pot, and shoveled it upward.

The rice on the top was shoveled open, and the yellow radish, which had been simmered to a soft and shiny state, jumped up and landed on the rice, covering the rice with golden juice, which was sweet and fragrant.

Reba and several people in the back kitchen were also attracted by this aroma, Reba was like a lamb, rushing straight to the side of the pot, staring at the mutton pieces buried under the rice in the pot, and the corners of his mouth flowed "tears" of longing.

"Oh my god! I feel like I'm back in the Western Regions! ”

Reba was very excited.

Behind her, Duan Yihong also looked at the pot with his hands behind his back, smacking his saliva and laughing: "Leave me a leg handle, I'll nibble and eat, tsk!" Don't be too cool. ”

"Yes, no problem, I'll give you a backleg."

As Li Yi spoke, he dug out a simmered hind leg from under the rice and put it on top of the rice.

Smelling the fragrance, Reba swallowed his saliva: "I prefer to eat the yellow radish inside, soft, sweet, I can eat it as a meal." ”

Zhao Jinmai watched from the side, and his saliva flowed: "I didn't expect the real pilaf to be so fragrant!" ”

Liu Yifei watched Li Yi digging down shovel by shovel, and was a little curious: "Brother Yi, are you looking for something?" ”

Li Yi dug out a piece of mutton, casually mixed it with the yellow radish and oil soup below to cover the rice, and casually explained: "After the pilaf is ready, you must dig out all the pieces of meat underneath, on the one hand, it is convenient to eat, and on the other hand, it can also be cooled as soon as possible, which is convenient for diners to eat."

This digging step is necessary, it is not only to dig out the pieces of meat, but also to dig out the yellow radish and broth underneath and pour it on top of the rice, so that the rice is soaked in the aroma of carrots, broth, mutton fat, and also to mix the rice and yellow radish evenly. ”

As he spoke, he had dug a hole in the pot, and the meat, turnips, and rice were piled up on the opposite side, forming a small mountain.

After digging, Li Yi took the shovel, looked at the people behind him, and asked, "I have to go back to make mixed noodles, who of you will make pilaf?" ”

"I'll do it!"

Duan Yihong recommended himself with a smile: "They can't fight, this kind of work still has to be done by our professional masters!" ”

"That's okay, it's hard Brother Duan."

Li Yi handed him the shovel.

Duan Yihong took the shovel and said with a smile: "Get me a fence, you have to use a fence to make pilaf." ”

"Professional."

Li Yi smiled and gave him a thumbs up, and then found a fence and gave it to him.

"Go get the plate for me, and I'll serve it."

Duan Yihong couldn't get enough to eat, so he tied an apron, put on a chef's hat, knocked on the edge of the pot decently, and shouted in a Uyghur accent: "Come on, come on!" Pilaf pilaf! The unmarried sheep baby, you are so fragrant! ”

The authentic Uyghur Reba on the side looked at him helplessly: "rellay? Brother Duan? ”
